Dude!

I guess you’ve already turned your rant off but that’s the breaks.

Leslie is a huge part of the FR culture and doubtless you will see his obit again tomorrow.

rant off. /s

Leslie Nielsen did such a great job of “re-inventing” himself and his persona. He was initially a dramatic actor, but he was a natural at comedy and seized upon it later in life. I’ve never heard or read anything bad about him. Seemed like one of the good guys.

RIP Mr. Nielsen.

He had a very long career. I just watched him last night in a “Route 66” episode where he played a nuclear scientist holed up in Carlsbad Caverns because he thought the Ruskies were going to nuke us. [You youngsters will think it was one of his comedy roles but it was straight and edgy for the times.]

You really are correct about duplicate postings. People should check more often. I just could not resist an opportunity to post the Marv cartoon. Sorry.

I appreciate the fact that the mods allow some duplicate threads stay up. I think it's beneficial, if the threads are separated by at least an hour or two. More folks get to see those stories that way.

All in good fun. I laughed, too.
